This is a HUGE moment, John: With the new Congress, this is our best chance in eight years to finally pass bipartisan universal background checks legislation.

After my beautiful butterfly Dylan was murdered in his first-grade classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary, I spent all my waking hours working to expand background checks. I felt so empty, so lost – but this work gave me a purpose. I had to make sure my baby boy didn't die in vain.

When that vote failed in April 2013, it felt like another kind of death.

Still, I refused to give up. My team and I returned to Congress, year after year, to urge lawmakers to pass this lifesaving legislation.

And now, this is exactly the moment we've been working toward – but we have to act quickly. We need to raise $125,000 by midnight on Tuesday to fund our all-out push to pressure Congress to finally pass universal background checks. I refuse to fail again. I refuse to let another parent feel the all-consuming pain of having a child taken by gun violence.

But we're still very short of our goal. So I'm asking you, from the bottom of my heart: Can I count on you to donate now?

Please rush $10, or as much as you possibly can, to Sandy Hook Promise right now. Every dollar you give will help us put massive, immediate pressure on the new Congress to finally pass universal background checks and protect more children from gun violence.

This work – reliving the nightmare of my baby boy's murder – never gets easier. But no matter how hard it gets, I'll never stop working as hard as I can to make sure no parent ever has to know the pain of having a child taken by gun violence.

Working to pass these kinds of reforms is one crucial way we can do that, so thank you for your support.

With love,

Nicole Hockley (Dylan's mom)
